The Most Important Cartoon of the Year

Mere_Christian,
I am a liberal, progressive Christian. I see it as my duty to evidence the fruits of the spirit and, by working hard on reducing my sins and showing mercy and compassion towards others, to demonstrate why Christianity stands for life.
Reading through your exchanges with both conservative Christians such as Ann and gay Christians such as Panthera, I get the impression that you don’t see evangelism (in the Greek sense of the word, that is: spreading the joyful word of our salvation through Christ) as your responsibility.
What, if you don’t want Christians who don’t agree 100% with you in your church and you very clearly have no desire to show mercy or compassion to those whom you consider sinners, is your definition of our mission as Christians?
Please don’t take this as an attack, the question is genuine: Do you subscribe to the belief that some folks are just plain bound for Hell, so it is not our problem, as Christians, to work with them? Do you have any knowledge of your approach of total isolation and condemnation (and, in your position, you are hardly alone in many churches) has any success in bringing people to salvation?
I’d be surprised, to be honest, if that were the case. But, then, as I am asking, maybe that is not your goal.

To Panthera:
Leviticus 18:22 – You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.
Just because our liberal, paganistic, secular society accepts homosexuals doesn’t mean it is right.

Anonymous,
I got the impression Panthera left this forum? Well, regardless, I have to ask you a question. If you apply the proscriptions from Leviticus to homosexuality between men, how do you stand on women loving other women?
As long as we are on the topic, how do you feel about the other prohibitions in the Old Testatment – not wearing mixed fibers, etc. I can list several of them here, but I think we all are aware of them.
Just curious, these drive-by-out-of-context-quotings seem more an attempt at rationalizing hatred towards a class of people than actual interest in engaging with them.
